Ridgelyne is the highest quality Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee available, produced by a master roaster with decades of experience in producing such a fine coffee and with an attention to quality far beyond what is mandated in the Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee industry.

The most exquisite and sought after coffee on Earth

What is Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee? It is an extremely high quality and rare, difficult to produce and obtain coffee noted for it's wonderful delicate and complex full body, zero acidity, and a smooth, heady aftertaste.

My wife and I first tasted Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee at a fine Ottawa, Canada establishment some years ago where it was seven dollars per cup. Born and raised in Jamaica my wife had never tasted it, and being a tea drinker I wasn't fond of coffee. After that evening in an Ottawa restaurant, we both fell in love with Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee.

On a trip to Jamaica several years ago to visit family we secured a supplier of the scarce and exquisite Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee. We haven't stopped visiting Jamaica or importing Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee since, and that is how Simple Industries Inc. came to be.

Farmer Friendly

The green coffee beans that are used to produce Ridgelyne brand Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee are purchased only from coffee mills that actively support small farmers and their communities. Coffee Solutions Ltd., roaster and producer of Ridgelyne in turn also supports small farmers and their communities in a variety of ways. Farmers of Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee receive the highest share of the wholesale price of their coffee of any coffee farmers in the world. When you purchase our Ridgelyne brand you are helping to support small farmers and communities that have made growing coffee a way of life, and of earning a living, for hundreds of years.

Authenticity

Don't be fooled by cheaper "Blue Mountain" blends. Blends are just that, a blend of coffee beans with some (how many?) Jamaica Blue Mountain® beans and not just any coffee coming from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica can be labelled as Jamaica Blue Mountain®. We don't sell blends.

Beans roasted outside of the approved Jamaican roasting houses are not subjected to the scrutiny, strict quality control, audit trail and certification of the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica and therefore cannot legally be marketed as Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee. This includes green beans exported and roasted abroad.

Our Jamaica Blue Mountain® coffee is processed, roasted, packaged and certified under the auspices and strict quality control of the Coffee Industry Regulation Act of Jamaica ensuring the authenticity of our products. Every shipment is accompanied with a numbered and signed, inspection and quality control approval and export licence issued by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica.
